Playing a £3.30 Dym earlier and hand below occoured.
Now while i cant prove that he give him a double up, it most certainly looks that way.
Pointless going to cc but i was not happy his/her play here.
I will leave name out but i will certainly be keeping an eye on this persons future play

    It just looks like bad play, but some people will over value double gapped suited connecters! He obviously thought he would have 2 live cards, strght draw and flush draw, so was in know way trying to double up the other guy.

    He limped assuming ur also gonna make up so u can check it down - 2 vs 1 - so he cashes.  

    Any DYM player is probs making the same call there with the same intention.  

    I'd be wondering why u folded with that same reasoning.

    ALSO, if he folds are u then calling?  The result would be the same and u would have even less chips so u got away fairly lightly.

    I don't see what the problem is here unless I'm missing something completely obvious!

    He's limping, and expecting you to limp too, and check it down to try and KO the Big Blind so everyone cashes. It's pretty standard, villain done nothing wrong.

    I folded assuming he had at least a half decent hand wanting to knock out the other guy and therefore cash!!!
    Knowing that the guy only has under 1bb left why would you bother getting involved the 74 suited or not, Im deffinatly shoving my chips in an unopened pot.
    Maybe its just bad play, i dont know but to me it looks iffy.

    I've seen worse to be honest. If you are unsure if something suspect went on then report it to SKY who will keep an eye on the situation, i'm sure. Cheers....

    Imagine player xxx has AK and the BB has 45, the BB is still gonna win it about 40% of the time and double up to havnig more chips than you.

    So you bundle along making it AK v J8 v 45, where his odds of winning are alot slimmer and there is only 1 bad outcome in terms of who you want to win the hand.

    for a start u could say how many players were left, and 2 the blinds are so big that any 2 would be a call...

    if there was 4 left it would appear that he was trying to knock him out...

    No collusion is when you all verbally agree to it.

    Standard DYM play is when people who have a brain know what the best thing to do for the benefit of all (except the shorty lol).

    Is this aimed at me ???

    I agree with what your saying here Lambert, are you not also giving a chance to treble his chip count with the best hand, putting him in a much stronger position?

    In this hand:

    You fold. Villain wins 70% of the time, if he wins he has 1,380 chips.
    You call. Villain wins 40% of the time, if he wins he has 1,620 chips.

    He's getting your small blind anyway. The right thing to do here is call, increase the chances knocking him out, especially as it won't actually make much difference if he wins anyway.

    Sorry I didn't mean it in the sense that you had no brain.

    I was just pointing out to IDONK that collusion is not 'standard' what IS 'standard' is people silently co-operating to acheive the same goal (cashing).

    My example was the shorty has 45. My point is, even though AK is a superior hand to 45, the shorty will still win with 45 40% of the time and put you in trouble. You have the opportunity to really increase the chance of him getting knocked out for an extra 300 chips.

    You can call knowing it's gonna get checked down to the river with 2 chances for you to win (assuming the bigger stack aint mental and bets lol)
